The Properties panel in Engrave mode provides options that allow you to edit individual notes and notations. All the properties that are available in the Properties panel in Write mode are also available in Engrave mode, but additional properties in Engrave mode allow you to edit items in more detail.

You can hide/show the Properties panel in Write mode and Engrave mode in any of the following ways:

The Properties panel contains a section for each notation item. When you select a note or notation, or part of a note or notation, and open the Properties panel, the Properties panel displays the sections and all the respective options that you might require to edit the selected item.
